I would like the 'water now' button to work when the sprinklers are 'unpowered' or to only water once.
They don't require constant energy anyway. The way they work by 'water now' starting a cycle where they water every hour doesn't really make sense. The 'water now' button should just water once. There should be a separate button for making them water automatically. There are many times when I plant when I just want to water my 24 plants without enabling automatic sprinkling. Right now I have to leave them powered off, then power them on, click 'sprinkle now', then power them off again.
Of course it would be best if they would only water crops that needed watering, but I can see how that would be difficult since you wouldn't want them watering every time you planted one seed. Maybe 'auto' mode could just not water if there are no plants that will require watering (i.e. they are all ready to harvest or there just aren't any crops)
It would also be nice if they didn't block actions on crops. Also it would be nice if they didn't block movement as badly as they do now. Maybe they could be made smaller so you could walk around them easier and they didn't block the crops above them.
Thanks
